Finally after a few hard months with unfair deadlines from everybody involved, a Christmas & several crazy trips around the world we have now finally Episode 11 up and running.
If all goes according to plan Episode 12, the final piece, will be up and running latest in 4 weeks. Mark your calenders it will be grand. But speaking of grandeur give it up for Francesco Giroldini & Brendan Carroll and their E11 - The Attack of the BearDuck (parental discretion is advised)...

And of course as always the entire thing put together in the crudest way possible by yours truly:

Minifest:

Each participant gets 4 weeks to produce between 5 and xx seconds of film. When the time is up, the clip gets uploaded to the blog and the next one in line takes over. It is up to each individual creator to pick the style and media they want to work in - and to decide how they think the story should evolve.

I thought this experiment would be interesting out of a series of reasons:

First of all; Will a wide range of storytellers, with only a few shots each and highly unique individual styles, be able to make piece of film that will engage its audience on an emotional level?

-How will the different creators attack the project? Will "the artists within" please their egos and try to top the other creators in originality and composition, or will they put their egos aside and collaborate on seemlessly telling a good story?

- Will it turn into an evolving story or simply turn out to be a series of beautiful shots with an abstract storyline?
